Features and recommendations for ceiling-mounted hoods.

Project Technical Study

In order to ensure that your project does not come up against any unexpected difficulties, Pando requires that you send us a Technical Study with very specific details to ensure the product works successfully.

FORM OF THE CEILING: The “ideal” ceiling to install these hood units must be completely unobstructed and flat over all of its surface. If for design reasons you choose to have different heights or steps in the ceiling, it must be ensured that the area where the hood is to be fitted is completely flat and covers as wide an area as possible, to avoid any suction losses (you must send us a plan to determine whether the surrounding ceiling is suitable).

CEILING HEIGHT: The recommended distance between the floor and the hood is a maximum of 2.50 m. For greater heights consult our Technical Division.

POSITION OF THE HOOD: The hood must be centred over the cooking area.

AIR INTAKE GRILLE: To ensure optimum suction by the hood it is essential that the kitchen has a constant inward flow of air; a ventilation grille at floor level is the perfect solution for this.

INSTALLING THE FLUE PIPE: We strongly recommend that you use S.E.C. System® fume extractor flue pipes from Pando, as these considerably improve convenience in use and the soundproofing of the unit.
